So called "eco" cars are expected to account for more than 10% of all car sales in Japan in 2009.

Based on sales figures for the month of April, 2009 - in which Honda's Insight and Toyota's Prius are leading the way with strong sales in an otherwise soft market - 2009 figures for these vehicles should top 10% of automobile sales.
