The above statement is not correct.

In the forward direction for example, mecanum is the equivalent of 4 motors driving 4 wheels with the rollers locked, if the vehicle is not traction-limited.
If the vehicle is traction-limited, then mecanum is 41% more force than two motors driving two wheels with the rollers locked.
