We have commitments for pending acquisitions and for the purchase of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and real estate to provide for the replacement of existing capacity and anticipated future growth. Future capital spending for anticipated growth and replacement assets will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and industry conditions. Our 2024 investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities, including approximately $1.0 billion of projects that support our environmental sustainability goals. It also provides for the maintenance of buildings, facilities and equipment and replacement of certain aircraft within our fleet. We currently expect that our capital expenditures will total approximately $4.0 billion in 2024, of which approximately 50 percent will be allocated to growth initiatives and network enhancement projects, including technology.
For the first six months of 2024, total capital expenditures increased compared to the 2023 period, primarily due to:
Vehicle expenditure increases, driven by the timing of payments and availability of vehicle replacements.
Aircraft expenditures driven by higher payments on open aircraft orders and the timing of final deliveries of aircraft.
These increases were partially offset by:
Decreases in spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment, driven by the timing of network enhancement projects.
A reduction in information technology expenditures driven by the purchase of certain licenses in the 2023 period that did not repeat.
We received cash proceeds of $2.7 billion from the sale of marketable securities in the first six months of 2024 due to the liquidation of our portfolio to provide additional resources for short-term and strategic operating needs.
Cash paid for acquisitions in both 2024 and 2023 related primarily to the purchase of development areas for The UPS Store. Other investing activities comprised various immaterial items.
