Abstract：The two carbon policies , carbon trade and carbon tax , are considered , and their influence to freight enterprise operating cost discussed , with the optimizing target to minimize the total cost .The fuel consumption is related with the load weight of freight car and opportunity cost needs to be paid when de -creasing fixed carbon emission .A two-stage model is proposed and a genetic algorithm designed to solve it . Numerical analysis shows that carbon policies increase the operation cost , but can spur enterprises to re-duce emission .Freight enterprises can reduce carbon emission in two ways , one of which is to reduce fixed carbon emission like cutting down electricity consumption and evections , and the other is to improve vehi-cle performance , like decreasing fuel consumption per 100 km and enhancing emission standards .
