ABSTRACT
Developing low-carbon logistics requires an understanding of the driving factors for carbon
emissions. We employed the Comparative Study on Urban Transport and the Environment (CUTE)
framework to identify the driving factors of China’s logistics carbon emissions. Then, the Generalized
Fisher Index Decomposition (GFID) model was adopted to decompose the effects of the driving factors.
Finally, we tracked the spatial dynamics trajectory of each driving effect based on the gravity model.
Our results showed that technical intensity and transport structure promoted carbon emissions, while
technical efficiency and agglomeration curbed carbon emissions. The gravity centers of transport
structure and technical efficiency converged with that of carbon emissions, whereas the gravity centers
of technical intensity and industry agglomeration diverged from that of carbon emissions. The driving
effects showed an obvious spatial heterogeneity, which indicated that carbon reduction policies should
be formulated according to the local situation.
