Dipped Products PLC (DPL) announced the launch of the EVPRO Glove - the first ever product specifically engineered to meet the unique hand protection requirements of Electric Vehicle (EV) professionals. 
Offering unmatched safety and mobility for electrical engineers, the EVPRO Glove provides crucial protection against electric shock during the handling and maintenance of electrical vehicles.

“Aligned with the Hayleys Group’s purpose of inspiring an inclusive world and a thriving planet, we have sought not only to enhance our internal capabilities for sustainable niche innovations, but also to engage with critical eco-friendly industries to help accelerate the green transition,” said DPL Managing Director Pushpika Janadheera.
The EV market is one such priority industry, with global sales of electric vehicles soaring by 31 percent in 2023 up to 13 million units. 

Recognising the need for specialised safety gear tailored to the unique demands of this fast-growing sector DPL embarked on a journey of innovation to develop the world’s first EV glove. 
“With keen interest already generated among customers in the United States and Europe, EVPRO is poised to elevate DPL’s growth potential and global competitiveness as it makes its way to distribution channels worldwide,” added Janadheera.  

While maintaining LINEPRO’s essential electrical insulating properties, the EVPRO Glove introduces several unique features. A distinctive textured surface for enhanced grip in wet and oil conditions ensures safety and performance in diverse working environments. Additionally, it is 25 percent thinner than standard electrician gloves, providing improved dexterity, and offers a better hand fit for unparalleled comfort 
and precision.
