Feb 3 (Reuters) - Ford's January sales in the U.S.

fell 6.3% owing to lower demand for its internal combustion

(ICE) vehicles, the company said on Monday.

The automaker sold a total of 142,944 units - including ICE

and electrified vehicles - in January, compared to the 152,617

it sold a year ago.

Sales of its electrified vehicles, which include both

electric and hybrid vehicles, rose about 20% to 18,961 units.
