Torque is increased when adding more motors in the same way that it's easier to lift a heavy object with more than one person. When you have 2 motors i.e cims on one transmission, you are doubling your torque. You are decreasing the workload on each motor. Of course there're more complicated ways of explaining it, but that's the simple way. Hope that helps
