  • Description: In this study, a bi-objective optimization model was established to solve the cooperative distribution problem of a multi-center hybrid fleet by integrating reverse logistics under real-time road conditions. According to the characteristics of the problem and considering the power level and battery capacity of electric vehicles, the multi-objective immune genetic algorithm (MOIGA) was designed and compared with an elitist strategy genetic algorithm, i.e., the fast non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). The scale of the MOIGA solution set exceeded that of the NSGA-II, which proved that the global search ability of MOIGA was better than that of the NSGA-II. The operating efficiency of the MOIGA was lower than that of the NSGA-II, but it could also find the optimal solution within an acceptable time range. This method can reduce the total cost of operating a hybrid fleet and can meet the needs of customers, and therefore, improve customer satisfaction.
