Volvo has released a 13-second video of the 360c - a new concept car. The company has termed it as its vision for the future of travel. There are rumours that it could possibly be an autonomous electric vehicle.

The video indicates that the front of the Concept 360c gets dual LED strips ending in what appears to be LED position lamps at the edges of the car and there is an illuminated Volvo logo in the centre. A small, illuminated portion extends beyond the edge of the body. The rear gets the LED treatment as well. It also gets fins at the back with illuminated edges and illuminated white '360' lettering on the side.

According to a media report, this could be Volvo's attempt to create a sub-brand for autonomous electric vehicles. The carmaker has already committed to launch only electric and hybrid cars from 2019 onwards.

Last week the company released a chime sound, claiming it to be from the 360c. Other details on this vehicle are not yet known.

The business will change in the coming years, and Volvo should lead that change of our industry - this is the philosophy of having the Volvo 360c

Volvo sees the 360c as a “potentially lucrative competitor” to short-haul air travel, specifically on shorter routes where the distance to your destination is roughly 300 km (186 miles).

Volvo says that their latest concept doesn’t just re-imagine traveling, but also looks at how people engage with friends and family whenever on the move, “recapturing” time on the road. So in a sense, the 360c represents a first step towards a broad discussion about how autonomous technology will change society
