Renault is world's NO 1 engine supplier to carmakers, I read so somewhere - and they could offer lower price due to economies of scales. And Chips Yap the veteran journalist had confirmed this.

The Savvy engine could be cheap because Renault actually does a business selling some of its engines to other manufacturers. It has a division called Renault Moteurs to do this and obviously, they would be costing their products competitively otherwise why would other manufacturers buy from them? Economies of scale is the name of the game so by selling its engines to others, it can acheive far greater volumes than if it were just to supply only for its own models.
Remember that the volume of engines Renault produces will be far larger than the number of Campro engines Proton produces. Therefore for every component, Renault could get a better and lower price as its order will be bigger - if Renault orders spark plugs from the same supplier as Proton, for example, who do you think will give a bigger order and who do you think will get the lower unit price?
