European Auto ABS: Too Much Green Can Add Uncertainty

In the latest episode of Morningstar DBRS’ “European Securitisation Insights” podcast, host Mudasar Chaudhry, who leads our European Structured Finance Research team, is joined by Guglielmo Panizza, Vice President, European ABS Ratings, and Miklos Halasz, Assistant Vice President, European ABS Ratings, to discuss the treatment of alternative-fuelled vehicles in asset-backed securities (ABS) transactions. The episode provides an overview of the European auto market covering key trends and some differences among jurisdictions. Road vehicles contribute roughly 15% of global CO2 emissions, and, more specifically, cars and vans contribute around 10%. Working towards net-zero targets, the auto industry is shifting towards alternative fuel vehicles, and we are beginning to see this change also in securitised European auto pools. The speakers examine whether this transition from internal combustion engines to alternative-fuelled vehicles has any impact on the credit performance or credit rating analysis of auto ABS transactions.Related Content:“European Auto ABS: Too Much Green Can Add Uncertainty” https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/432991/european-auto-abs-too-much-green-can-add-uncertainty“Rating European Auto Wholesale Securitisations” https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/435289/rating-european-auto-wholesale-securitisationsBy downloading or listening to this podcast, you are agreeing to the Morningstar DBRS disclaimer and legal terms and conditions found at dbrs.morningstar.com/about/disclaimer and dbrs.morningstar.com/about/termsandconditions, including that the information provided is not investment, financial or other advice.
