Andreas Lehe was born 1968 in Koblenz.

After training as an electroplater and studying Materials Science/Surface Engineering at Aalen University, Lehe started his career at AUDI AG in Neckarsulm as a planner on the Surface Process Chain project. He worked on optimizing cross-process enhancements to the control cycles in Production with the aim of improving visual quality.

In 1996, Lehe moved to Ingolstadt to work on training concepts for production personnel for newly installed plant. He was appointed Head of the Plastics Paint Shop at the Ingolstadt site in 2000. Eight years later he was put in charge of the Top Coat area. At that time he was responsible for the production starts of the A3, TT, A4, A5 and Q5 models as well as for process and application technology.

In 2010, Lehe took charge of the A3 Paint Shop at the Ingolstadt plant. He restructured the area in that capacity, and during that time masterminded the successful ramp-up of one of the VW Group’s most advanced paint shops.

Lehe was Director of Production and Logistics at AUDI MÉXICO S.A. de C.V. from October 1, 2017, and was in charge of production of the Audi Q5 for the world market.

He took office as CEO of Audi México with effect from January 1, 2019. He continued to perform his previous role in an acting capacity.

Andreas Lehe returned to AUDI AG in Ingolstadt on November 1, 2020, where he heads the “Strategic Planning” area. He is thus responsible for the continuous further development of an integrated Audi production strategy and the associated global production network. He assumes responsibility in this function for central management of the Production division. He is also responsible for the digitalization of production processes.

The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. Since September 1, 2017, type approval for certain new vehicles has been performed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Since September 1, 2018, the WLTP has gradually replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the consumption and CO2 emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.audi.de/wltp.

At the moment, it is still mandatory to communicate the NEDC values. In the case of new vehicles for which type approval was performed using WLTP, the NEDC values are derived from the WLTP values. WLTP values can be provided voluntarily until their use becomes mandatory. If NEDC values are indicated as a range, they do not refer to one, specific vehicle and are not an integral element of the offer. They are provided only for the purpose of comparison between the various vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (attachment parts, tire size, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, like weather and traffic conditions as well as individual driving style, influence a vehicle’s electric power consumption, CO2 emissions and performance figures.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
