Actually vehicle= solvent+binder.
Binder is like linseed oil, tung oil, etc. But solvent also called as thinner is a volatile liquid which evaporates, eg. turpentine.

The material used in paints to help it to spread the base over the surface is called vehicle. It's one type of linseed oil.

A solvent is a material which dissolves another material. For example, when you add water to salt or sugar, they dissolve in water forming a solution. In other words, a solution contains a solvent in which the solute or the material is completely dissolved.
The thinner is only added to the paint (mixture) with the role of reducing the viscosity, but not to dissolve any ingredients.
