As the core logistics carrier of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), it has become a key link in stabilizing Eurasian trade and enhancing supply chain resilience. Based on the analysis framework of ¡°digital empowerment-geopolitical adaptation-green transition¡±, this paper systematically explores the operation status, multi-dimensional challenges and development path of CER Express by integrating the latest industry data, typical cases and empirical analysis. The research shows that: by the end of 2024, the cumulative number of CER Express trains has exceeded 110,000, with a total cargo value of over 450 billion US dollars, covering more than 300 cities in 40 countries; digital technology has improved the operation efficiency of CER Express by more than 30%, while geopolitical frictions have increased the transportation cost by 15% - 25%; the green transformation represented by zero-carbon trains has become a new growth point, but it is constrained by inconsistent carbon accounting standards and high transformation costs. This paper proposes a high-quality development system of ¡°digital drive geopolitical coordination green synergy¡±, which provides theoretical support and practical reference for the sustainable operation of CER Express, the interconnection of Eurasian trade, and the construction of a low-carbon and resilient global supply chain.
