The environmental benefit of New Energy Vehicle’s(NEV’s) application in the logistics industry was studied. Firstly, this study established the carbon emission model of the urban logistics industry and predicted the cargo turnover of the three major cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin with the modified Gompertz model. Based on this, this paper analyzed the NEV’s ability of carbon emission reduction, calculated the quantity of carbon emission reduction after the application of NEV. Then, we conclude that the NEV has the ability of carbon emission reduction. And more carbon emission will be reduced with the development of the NEV’s technique. Considering external economy of the logistics industry, the government should construct an urban logistics system suitable for the NEV, intensify the support of the NEV in the urban logistics industry and follow the market demand of developing the NEV technology in order to promote the development of urban logistics of the NEV.
