The invention relates to an arrangement of a front gate on a vehicle, the arrangement comprising at least one hinge system located at the rear in the direction of travel, in the form of a four-bar mechanism with a long arm and a short arm. The hinge system enables the front gate to be pivoted for standard opening and closing, and to be raised at the rear thereof in the event of a collision. To this end, the hinge system comprises an energy accumulator that actuates a displacement device in the event of a collision of the vehicle, said displacement device, in turn, acting directly on the front gate and being detachably connected to the same. The articulations of the four-bar mechanism on the side of the front gate, are fixed to a pivoting lever in an articulated manner, the pivoting lever being detachably fixed to the front gate with one end, in the idle state, and being pivotable in relation to the front gate, with the other end thereof, about a rotary articulation arranged on the front gate in the region of the articulation of the displacement device. If the vehicle crashes, the displacement device raises the front gate in relation to the idle state in such a way that it is guided by the arms of the four-bar mechanism and by the pivoting lever detaching itself on one side from the front gate.
