Anyways, a while back I posted about "RU638AA" having the emission code along with the model code on the aforementioned thread, and this is the short conversation I had: I compiled a list of buses (and trucks) below of which both the model code and its emission code is present currently. @mods, please remove the emission code (the first ≦3 letters before the hyphen) as they are not actually necessary for vehicle identification.

Thank you.

Done

While I could have written this down as a comment in the "Mass change model info thread", I decided against because the comment itself would have been long, and would span in to multiple comments even. Anyways, a while back I posted about "RU638AA" having the emission code along with the model code on the aforementioned thread, and this is the short conversation I had:

Quote From: Exiv96

I did not know that, and it could have repercussions. We've always copy-pasted codes from japanese Wiki articles, bus spotting sites and photo galleries without asking questions, and those codes can be so long they can't even fit into the chassis code field.
Maybe we could delete those emission codes altogether? After all, we don't enter them for japanese cars.

Quote From: Jnglmpera

Those emission codes I think should be deleted altogether since they are not used for vehicle designation. Otherwise we'll have to spend a month adding "DAA-" to the model code of every 2005+ Prius and Aquas in Japan (as well as cars that were shipped to Mongolia/Kenya/NZ/etc), which would needlessly separate the J cars from their US and EU counterparts.
