Honda unveils new ‘last mile’ business solution: Fastport, a fleet-as-a-service company, offering the Fastport eQuad prototype

Honda has announced the establishment of Fastport, a new B2B business dedicated to transforming the last-mile delivery industry with innovative micromobility solutions.
Fastport will make its global debut at Eurobike from 25-29 June in Frankfurt, Germany, where it will unveil its first product – the zero-emission Fastport eQuad prototype. This all-electric quadricycle delivery vehicle, designed for use in bike lanes*, enables companies to enhance their urban logistics operations with speed, efficiency and reliability.

Powered by Honda Mobile Power Pack (MPP) swappable batteries and software-defined vehicle (SDV) features, the Fastport eQuad will help address urban congestion and rising consumer demand for faster, more frequent deliveries. Last-mile delivery has become one of the most complex and costly segments of the logistics chain and Honda aims to revolutionize this space with the Fastport purpose-built micromobility vehicle, which will serve as the foundation for other mobility products.
Fastport enables Honda to enter a new micromobility market in Europe and North America with first edition vehicle deliveries projected to begin in late 2025 and general mass production in the summer of 2026.
Fastport eQuad
The first product, the Fastport eQuad, combines cutting-edge technology with a modern design, offering an efficient and safer mode of transportation for delivery drivers. Equipped with a unique pedal-by-wire pedal-assist powertrain, and easily swappable, rechargeable batteries, the eQuad provides a smooth, powerful and silent riding experience with zero carbon emissions.
The eQuad features numerous energy-saving technologies including a regenerative braking system that captures and reuses energy to boost efficiency, as well as automatic parking brakes for enhanced safety. Prioritising rider comfort, the eQuad also has a canopy with UV coating and a ceramic tint option, along with a ventilation fan and full-frontal enclosure. Its chassis design, combined with thoughtfully integrated components and Honda engineering, ensures a smooth ride – even on uneven road surfaces.
Fastport will offer large and small vehicle and cargo box container sizes, tailored to meet regional customer needs in European and North American markets. The modular design of the eQuad allows for customisation in vehicle length to cater to a wide range of uses – including parcel, grocery, and small package deliveries.
Additionally, the eQuad is designed for use in bike lanes, allowing users to reduce traffic congestion and navigate urban areas more efficiently. Coupled with Fastport’s Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) model, businesses can optimise delivery operations with ease while achieving cost-efficiencies compared to operating a conventional delivery fleet.
Jose Wyszogrod, General Manager and Founding Member of Fastport, said: “The Fastport team has worked tirelessly to create the Fastport eQuad, a zero-emission alternative to delivery vans that solves the challenge of last mile urban logistics by meeting the needs of urban residents expecting on-demand deliveries of packages, groceries and other items. Drawing from the deep knowledge of Honda design and engineering talent in the U.S., the Fastport eQuad is a testament to the commitment of Honda to advancing a more sustainable future through innovative mobility solutions.”

Innovative Fastport FaaS Platform
Fastport’s FaaS platform offers a comprehensive solution with software-defined platform features, including swappable batteries, cargo containers, service and maintenance plans, along with AI-powered dashboards with real-time insights that enhance driver and fleet-management operations.

With premium connectivity and seamless over-the-air software updates, Fastport products will ensure secure and high-performance access to cloud-based services, unlocking continuous value and improvements over the vehicle’s lifetime. It is already engaging with major logistics and delivery companies in Europe and North America for pilot test programs ahead of the production launch next year.
