The journal retracts the article titled “Research on Sustainable Form Design of NEV Vehicle Based on Particle Swarm Algorithm Optimized Support Vector Regression” [1], cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding an overlap between this article [1] and another article [2] by the same authorship group, the latter being under consideration and published by another publisher within a similar time.

Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and the Editorial Board that confirmed a significant overlap between the two publications.
