Abstract: Due to the large area and small population of Canada, the efficiency of logistics enterprises is low, and each logistics enterprise needs to cooperate to save energy and reduce emissions. Considering that each logistics enterprise can realize the maximization of its own benefit by controlling the distribution volume and the input of facilities. In this article, the differential game model of individual distribution, coordinated distribution and paid introduction of customers for each logistics enterprise is constructed, the balanced distribution volume, capital input and social welfare functions of each logistics enterprise under the three modes are obtained, and the applicable conditions of various distribution cooperation channels are compared. The research results show that if the organizational cost between logistics enterprises is greater than the communication cost, the benefits of large-scale logistics enterprises under the introduction customer mode are greater than those under the collaborative distribution mode. However, only the communication cost and organizational cost are relatively small, and the profit of small-scale logistics enterprises under the introduction of the customer mode is smaller than that under the collaborative distribution mode.
