With the popularity of e-commerce recently, how to control the operation cost has become an urgent issue need to be solved for all logistics company. This paper proposes an improved bin packing approach under the consideration of fuel consumption for delivery vehicle, to provide logistic company bin packing scheme with the least vehicle numbers and fuel consumption. First, with the consideration of controlling logistics costs, a multi-objective function is built to minimize the number of vehicles and the fuel consumption during delivery. Then a simulated annealing algorithm with improved neighborhood operations is proposed to solve the joint optimization problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is evaluated. The results show the proposed approach can effectively reduce logistics costs compared with the conventional bin packing approach and is helpful for reducing fuel consumption by balancing the weight among different vehicles.
