They travel faster in that they can be geared higher than two motors would normally push in that direction; however drives like these allow the user to configure a particular direction to drive with more than the equivalent of two motors of "power", allowing a higher free speed / lower gear ratio in the primary direction of travel.
In short, "yes" but "no".
