expansions. UPS added 13 distribution facilities in 2013 to
support the growth of our healthcare, high tech, retail, and
aerospace customers.
We also enhanced our healthcare capabilities during 2013,
with the introduction of UPS Temperature True® Saver and
UPS Proactive ResponseTM. In addition, we will continue to
add to our 6.4 million square feet of healthcare distribution
space with several openings planned worldwide in 2014.
UPS Freight experienced shipment and tonnage growth of
3.6 and 3.7 percent, respectively during 2013. Total revenue
improved 9.2 percent as this business unit experienced solid
LTL pricing improvements and truckload growth during the year.
Corporate Responsibility
UPS is committed to being a good steward of the environment,
and our customers are looking to us as a supply chain partner to
help them meet their sustainability goals. In 2013, we ramped
up our investments in alternative fuel and advanced technology
vehicles. We announced the purchase of more than 900 lique ed
natural gas (LNG) tractors and plans to invest $68 million in
13 new LNG fueling stations that will be operational by the
end of 2014. Today, UPS operates one of the largest private
alternative fuel  eets in the industry, with more than 3,100
alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles.
2013 also marked the year when we expedited the rollout of
the ORION software UPS has been testing since 2008. ORION
uses customized online map data to provide drivers with
optimized routing information. The initial implementation of
the ORION program has enabled UPS to save more than
1.5 million gallons of fuel, and to reduce our CO2 emissions by
14,000 metric tons. Our goal is to extend ORION to every one
of our U.S. routes by 2017, and eventually deploy ORION in
our largest markets worldwide.
During the year, UPS again was recognized for its global
leadership in sustainability. The Carbon Disclosure Project
named UPS to its “Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index.”
UPS also was named to Dow Jones’s North American
and World Sustainability Indices, which serve as global
benchmarks for sustainability e orts.
In 2013, we rea rmed our commitment to the communities
we serve. UPS and its employees contributed $102 million
