The study finds that PANEVs significantly enhance ICGER, with this effect being more pronounced in cities characterized by large road freight volumes, extensive built-up areas, small population sizes, and low population densities. Mechanism tests reveal that the policy indirectly promotes ICGER through three pathways: improving economic development quality, expanding potential market size, and enhancing innovation level, among which potential market size and innovation level exhibit complete mediating effects. The industrial structure upgrading exerts a significantly positive moderating effect on policy outcomes. This paper expands the research on the environmental effects of new energy vehicles through the lens of cross-regional collaborative governance, providing empirical evidence for the differentiated advancement of new energy vehicle policies.

The study finds that PANEVs significantly enhance ICGER, with this effect being more pronounced in cities characterized by large road freight volumes, extensive built-up areas, small population sizes, and low population densities. Mechanism tests reveal that the policy indirectly promotes ICGER through three pathways: improving economic development quality, expanding potential market size, and enhancing innovation level, among which potential market size and innovation level exhibit complete mediating effects. The industrial structure upgrading exerts a significantly positive moderating effect on policy outcomes. This paper expands the research on the environmental effects of new energy vehicles through the lens of cross-regional collaborative governance, providing empirical evidence for the differentiated advancement of new energy vehicle policies.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"The impact of the promotion and application of new energy vehicles on inter-city collaborative governance of emission reduction","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2026-01-22 20:43:33","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7828250/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"3f611b89-c0af-4e2c-82e1-d12e6efd4921","owner":[],"postedDate":"January 22nd, 2026","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":61486462,"name":"Earth and environmental sciences/Environmental sciences"},{"id":61486463,"name":"Earth and environmental sciences/Environmental social sciences"},{"id":61486464,"name":"Scientific community and society/Geography"},{"id":61486465,"name":"Social science/Geography"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-03-17T08:32:06+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2026-01-22 20:43:33","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7828250","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7828250","identity":"rs-7828250","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"XKTyCvWXoU3ODBz1xrDgd","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
