Honda launches electric two-wheeler in Thailand and Vietnam

Honda has announced that it will begin sales of its fixed-battery electric, two-wheeled personal commuter: The UC3, in Thailand and Vietnam from Q2 2026. In conjunction with this launch, Honda has also said that it will work to develop charging infrastructure in major cities in both aforementioned countries.

Developed under the concept of "Intelligent Urban Life Partner", the UC3 adopts Honda's first fixed-type LFP battery as its power source and is able to achieve a cruising range of 122km per charge. It is also able to recharge from 20-80% in two hours and from 0-100% in four hours. The UC3 offers three selectable riding modes: Standard, Sport, and Econ, with a reverse mode also provided to assist easier handling during parking and reversing manoeuvres.

The UC3's design incorporates flowing curves from front to rear, with a distinctive arched form around the tail section. It features a horizontal signature light, and its dedicated EV colour scheme combines a predominantly black body with gold-accented components. In addition, its product mark uses a newly developed "Honda" font exclusive for electric motorcycles.

And in line with this launch, Honda has also expanded charging infrastructure for fixed-battery electric motorcycles in Thailand and Vietnam. For the former, this will see an increase in the number of charging stations for two-wheelers primarily at Honda motorcycle dealerships and shopping malls in and around Bangkok. For the latter, Honda has begun installing charging stations at its motorcycle dealerships in major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, with plans to begin operations from June 2026.

In parallel, Honda will continue improving the usage environment for electric motorcycles powered by the swappable Honda Mobile Power Pack e: battery. Expansion of Honda e:Swap Battery Station installations will proceed at Honda motorcycle dealerships in Bangkok and Hanoi.
