I said this on Discord too when it was created, but if we have electric_locomotive and diesel_locomotive, why should we have one tag for DMUs and EMUs (no Vera not the bird)? The differences and identifiers are basically the same (overhead lines, exhaust fumes, pantograph).

I don't think the difference is always as obvious as you're making it out to be.
