Could someone explain to me how to use to have in this sentence.
I try to practice English by reading newspapers so I found this headline 'Europe's cars to have speed limiters'
and I don't understand how they use the term of "to have" in this sentence, so could someone explain to me.
why does it have to use 'to have' instead of just 'have' or 'will have'
Thank you.

This is an elliptical construction that is used only in newspaper headlines. " Over time, the words "are going" were omitted in the newspaper business, for brevity, and now this is a standard construction used in newspaper headlines.
