Fitch Affirms Two Classes of Volkswagen Auto Loan Enhanced Trust 2013-2

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its ongoing surveillance, Fitch Ratings affirms two classes of the Volkswagen Auto Loan Enhanced Trust 2013-2 as follows:

--Class A-3 at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable;

--Class A-4 at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The ratings are based on available credit enhancement and loss performance. The collateral pool continues to perform within Fitch's expectations. Under the credit enhancement structure, the securities are able to withstand stress scenarios consistent with the current ratings and make full payments to investors in accordance with the terms of the documents.

The ratings reflect the quality of Volkswagen Credit Inc.'s retail auto loan originations, the strength of its servicing capabilities, and the sound financial and legal structure of the transaction.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults and loss severity could produce loss levels higher than the current projected base case loss proxy and impact available loss coverage and multiples levels for the transaction. Lower loss coverage could impact ratings and Rating Outlooks, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage.

In Fitch's initial review of the transaction, the notes were found to have limited sensitivity to a 1.5x and 2.5x increase of Fitch's base case loss expectation. To date, the transaction has exhibited strong performance with losses well within Fitch's initial expectations with rising loss coverage and multiple levels. This increased loss coverage has further reduced the sensitivity of assigned ratings to increased loss levels.

DUE DILIGENCE USAGE

No third-party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to these rating actions.
