Mitsubishi car parts that help to make the manufacturer’s vehicles greener are proving a hit with British motorists, it has been suggested.

According to the group, models featuring its ClearTec systems now account for more than five per cent of its sales.

Managing director Lance Bradley revealed the eco-friendly technology already fitted to the Colt will soon start appearing in many of its other vehicles.

He stated: "We have a great environmental message to tell at Mitsubishi and we are looking forward to the CO2 emission levels of our cars dropping considerably over the coming months."

This comes as the company reported last month’s sales were up 57 per cent, compared with July 2008.

It pointed out this meant it achieved a spot in the top ten most improved registration figures.

Meanwhile, motorists keen to improve their green credentials may find replacing worn car parts can help.

Drivers should be able to find spares from a range of manufacturers online.
