Country A exports LRVs and Country B exports buses.

This is because Country A has a comparative advantage in producing LRVs as they can produce more LRVs than Country B, while Country B has a comparative advantage in producing buses as they can produce more buses than Country A. This means that it would be more beneficial for each country to specialize in the product that they can produce most efficiently and then trade with each other.
