Abstract: In the current era of deeply integrated global supply chains, new-quality productivity acts as a powerful engine, continuously driving the high-quality development of the transportation and logistics sectors. This study focuses on innovative productivity, technical productivity, and green productivity as core dimensions of new-quality productivity. By gathering panel data from 31 provinces through multiple sources, an empirical model is constructed to analyse the influence mechanisms of each productivity component on the evolution of railway logistics. The findings reveal that innovation-driven productivity encourages railway logistics enterprises to continually explore new service models. Meanwhile, digital and technical productivity, along with regional e-commerce development levels, exert a substantial impact on railway logistics and facilitate industrial synergy through optimised resource integration. The results not only offer a foundation for enterprises to refine investment strategies and enhance operational development, but also provide valuable insights for policymakers to formulate targeted industrial policies and promote the dynamic growth of new logistics business forms.

Keywords: new quality productivity; railway logistics; factor synergy.
