Abstract: New-age business and information technology paradigms that maintain present and future goals to meet their fundamental requirements while protecting nature and the variety of natural processes of ecosystems lead to sustainable development. To understand sustainable development, one must first understand that there are limits to how far society can continue to develop in its current form. With the development of information technology, the informatization and digitization of freight transportation have been realized, and it has become possible to explore new paradigms of sustainable development. However, a major improvement in freight transportation technology is needed to link environmental development with sustainable business development. In this context, on the basis of the analysis of the freight coordination evaluation index system and the availability of information data, this paper built an improved gray correlation analysis model and a coordination evaluation model. It also discussed the content of the structural adjustment of freight transport based on an empirical study of the coordination between China's freight transport and economic development. The research shows that after the adjustment of the freight structure, the economic coordination of China's freight structure has realized a V-shaped process of first decreasing and then improving. The future structural adjustment of freight transport should be focused on the eastern and central regions of China, with special attention to improving the coordination of freight transport in the central region.
