Honda’s Fastport eQuad Prototype is Designed for Urban Delivery, Has Up to 23-Mile Range

Honda’s latest venture into the electric vehicle space isn’t a sleek sedan or a beefy SUV—it’s a four-wheeled, bike-lane-legal delivery machine called the Fastport eQuad. This all-electric quadricycle aims to tackle the chaos of last-mile delivery in crowded urban environments. With swappable batteries, a modular design, and a software-driven fleet management system, the eQuad is Honda’s bold bet on micromobility as a solution to urban congestion and the relentless demand for faster deliveries.

Established in 2023, Fastport is a new B2B business under Honda’s New Business Innovation Lab, focused on transforming urban logistics with micromobility solutions. The eQuad, its first product, is designed to slip through bike lanes, dodging the gridlock that plagues traditional delivery vans in cities like New York or Tokyo. “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,” said Jose Wyszogrod, general manager and founding member of Fastport.

You can grab it in two variants—the small one’s 133.9 inches long, 39.4 inches wide, and 82.7 inches high, hauling up to 320 pounds, while the bigger model stretches to 144 inches long, 48 inches wide, and 84 inches high, with a 650-pound limit. Either way, it’s small enough to zip through bike lanes where the rules permit. Both versions max out at 12 mph, and with a pedal-by-wire assist system, plus regenerative braking and auto parking brakes, it’s all about saving energy and keeping things safe. The vehicle’s canopy, complete with UV coating and optional ceramic tint, shields drivers from the elements, while a ventilation fan and full-frontal enclosure keep the cockpit comfortable.


Powering the eQuad is Honda’s Mobile Power Pack (MPP), a swappable battery system that eliminates downtime for recharging. Each 22-pound battery can be swapped out in seconds, a feature borrowed from systems like Gogoro’s scooter battery network. The large model boasts a range of up to 23 miles when fully loaded, though range testing for the smaller variant is still ongoing.


Honda’s Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) model integrates AI-powered dashboards, real-time diagnostics, and over-the-air updates, turning the eQuad into a connected data hub. “Drawing from the deep knowledge of Honda design and engineering talent in the US, the Fastport eQuad is a testament to the commitment of Honda to advancing a more sustainable future through innovative mobility solutions,” Wyszogrod noted.


Things are already rolling for production. The eQuad’s getting built at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio, the same spot that used to crank out the speedy Acura NSX. They’ve been testing it out in New York City, with Fastport teaming up with big logistics players in North America and Europe to run more trials before the 2026 launch. The first batch of these rides should hit the streets late this year, with full production kicking into gear by summer 2026.
