The findings suggest that more efficient vehicles might lead to lower operational costs for borrowers, potentially improving loan performance. Experts argue this approach could help align financial decisions with sustainability goals while reducing default risks. The study highlights a growing trend toward integrating environmental metrics into traditional lending criteria.
