Abstract From the current situation of energy intensity in logistics industry, the energy path dependence is analyzed, and the optimal energy intensity theory is also put forward for the logistics industry from the mathematical level. Then, the factors affecting the energy intensity of logistics industry are analyzed, and the measurement model is established, and the empirical analysis is carried out by using the FGLS and GMM. The main conclusions includes: ①Energy prices can significantly inhibit the energy intensity, import and export trade, goods turnover, domestic trade, the growth of the postal service level have significant positive impacts on energy intensity of logistics industry. ②The increase in the labor of logistics industry will also reduce the energy intensity of the logistics industry, which indicates that that the labor of the logistics industry is in favor of the development of the logistics industry. ③From various regions, the energy intensity of the logistics industry in the eastern and western regions is characterized by an increase.④The lagging effect of energy intensity in logistics industry has not obvious significance in statistics. In the end, some suggestions are put forward in terms of energy utilization efficiency, improving intensive collaborative operation, and freight transport equipment generalization, which can be beneficial to energy saving and consumption reducing and reduce energy intensity.
